I am holding a funk night - 'Superbad', on July 1st 2004. I Would like to ask your opinions on what tracks u would like played. Please offer one or a few track suggestions that you would love to hear. Please keep in mind that the people wanna dance! I'm hoping that this activity will help jog my memory for songs i may have overlooked, forgoten or turn my attention to tracks that i have never heard. SuperBad @ the Abbey Bar, Petersgate, Stockport Manchester (UK) Org note me for more info (PLUG!) You'll never know a girl called Nikki and you'll never find Erotic City | |
